Alone Together: Freeform Orders Comedy Pilot

I think we’re alone, now…Freeform has ordered the Alone Together TV show pilot from The Lonely Island team: Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer. Freeform Programming and Development EVP Karey Burke said, “This is a fiercely funny look at young adults who are unapologetically themselves while blazing their own paths, which fits nicely into the tradition already set by our current slate.”

The half-hour comedy features a pair of “millennial misfits” — platonic friends trying to make their way in L.A. Writers Esther Povitsky and Benji Afalo will star and executive-produce the Alone Together TV series pilot. Eben Russell will also write and executive-produce.
